Spectacular outdoor living areas (pavilion, deck, walkway)

We were looking for a company to trust with our project; replace the disintegrating gazebo installed by the previous owners, build a deck off the ground-floor master bedroom, and connect the deck with a walkway to the patio area off the kitchen that we had put in about five years earlier.

We had gotten rid of the gazebo ourselves in the fall, and this had left the rotting hexagon floor footprint in an odd placement within the brick pavers in the pool area.

The original gazebo was a hexagon wedged in against the metal pool fencing leaving a lot of wasted and unusable space.

I reached out to Michael and was immediately impressed with his knowledge and willingness to consider a custom design that I had roughed out that also included a pergola.

Our love of traditonal timber design meant a lot of extra work to make the design work and Michael worked with me to bring my vision for the space to life. His keen attention to detail and pride in his work was evident throughout our entire project.

His solution to address the hexagon-shaped hole left by the old gazebo meant that the two distinct patio areas had a cohesive element because he incorporated the large pavers that we had installed years ago into the new area under the pavilion.

The new structure is a contemporary and a visual centrepiece. But most importantly, it is the place where we spend the majority of our time in the summer months (and fall and spring with blankets). The structure is substantial and provides a shaded and breezy place to sit and enjoy the garden. It is beautifully built and the quality of workmanship is evident.

In addition to the new pavilion and outdoor living area, we also wanted a medium-sized deck built off the main floor bedroom. We needed something that was low maintenance but still looked natural and fit into the surroundings. Michael worked with us to select colours and a style that was complimentary to our home. As a result, we ended up with another outside space that we enjoy, especially for those early morning coffees.

Communication was prompt and crews showed up on time on the days they were scheduled. They did a great job cleaning up each each day.

We have recommended M.J.L. Woodworking to a number of friends looking for a contractor. In fact, we were so pleased with our project that we recommended Michael and his crew to my sister who had them rebuild a significant outdoor structure and patio that another contractor had made a mess of.

Deck was done perfectly!

Im super satisfied with my new deck and Im hard to please.
Whenever there was something to discuss Michael was very attentive and took care of it.
We have an elevated deck so we needed a building permit. No problem, Michael too care of it.
The deck was finished on time and the materials and workmanship were excellent.
I even noticed that the supporting lumber was free of any cracks and very straight. He used premium grade lumber, not the stuff you see sitting at the big box stores.
Very happy with our new deck.
I dont give everyone a good review.
Im an engineer and a bit OCD and this was one occasion where we got more than we expected.
Im going to say the pictures posted here dont do it justice. Once we got our new windows, furniture, umbrella and BBQ set up the deck looks fantastic.

Project

We retained the service of MJL Woodworking to design and construct a deck at our residence. Mike and his crew did an exceptional job. Mikes crew were always respectful, on time, under budget and the quality of the deck was second to none. Throughout the process Mike offfered suggestions that added appeal to the project and actually saved us money. Upon completion of the project Mikes crew did a fantastic cleanup. I would highly recommend Mike and MJL Woodworking for any project. James Dowling, Burlington Homeowner

Roof Structure - Outdoor Living Room

Of the several contracts I spoke with, Mike and team from MJL were the only folks who understood my vision for transforming my backyard. They were altogether professional, patient (permit drama), and thoughtful in their suggestions. I couldn't recommend them more and they've become my default contractor. Thanks again, guys!!

Front and Back Deck Replacements

Mike and his team were a treat to work with.
Mike attended within 1 business day of my inquiry and provided me a quote the next day. He provided several options to help work within my budget and expectations. Mike delivered the completed decks with sound workmanship, consideration, and professionalism and did it all 1 week before the promised completion date. Mike communicated throughout the process and was focused on helping us achieve our vision for our deck replacements. His crew were equally respectful, friendly, and hard-working. All in all, I would highly recommend MJL Woodworking for any project you have.

New deck, fence and gate

We contracted MJL Construction in June 2020 to build a new, pressure treated, 16x16, two-level backyard deck, as well as replace a pre-existing 85’ shared neighbour fence.
Mike was consistently responsive to our inquiries and receptive to our questions and needs. He took the time to listen and supported any changes we made – even those that were likely a little last minute.
During the project Mike maintained a clean site and ensured things were tidy at the end of each day’s work. The end result exceeded our expectations. The quality of the materials and Mike’s craftsmanship were excellent. This deck and fence will be here on our property long after we are! I’d also like to note that our construction projects took place during the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. Mike and his crew were able to maintain physical distancing requirements ensuring the safety of our family, for which we are extremely appreciative.

Great Gate

We hired Mike through a friend of my son’s friend. Mike was in the middle of the three quotes we got and decided to go with him. Very pleased we did!
Our project wasn’t a big one but he gave us the attention in spite of being a smaller job. We basically showed him a photo of a gate we liked and he built it pretty much exactly how we wanted it.
Two days all in at our home.
We would hire him anytime and certainly recommend him for any work needed.
Great job Mike!
